The reason it is not implicit is that there is no hard rule saying the default instance must run on port 1433, and most people change it off of the...

I second the "nonwork_days" table, but I would make sure to design the reason code table well.

You would want to make sure that the reason code table has a reason...

Could you post the DDL for the tables?  Mostly, I am wondering what the datatype on "Length" is.  If it is not a numeric data type (numeric, decimal, float, int,...

I am not 100% certain on the Access syntax for this, but I see a few potential solutions.

My recommended solution would be to do this as a stored procedure rather...

There are other solutions for sure, but they include risk.  For example, you can take the database offline and modify it in a hex editor to correct the bad data.

A lot of my advice still applies.  I would try connecting by the FQDN name of the server as well as the port.

You ruled out DNS because you can RDP,...

Can your client machine see the servers?  Could be firewall issues (that would be one of my first guesses) or network related.  I would try connecting by the full name...

Which suggests turning up the remote execution timeout period at the SQL server side OR hardware/network issues.  Since the query runs...

I am pretty sure that the problem is with that buffer pool size as the error indicated.  The error is saying that the connection was closed by the remote host. ...

I believe the reason it is skipped is because the next restore step MAY include the steps that the undo phase would have undone.  If you use NORECOVERY, SQL is...

The master key password is used to decrypt the master key.  If you change the password AND you are decrypting it by password (as opposed to decrypting by the service...

looking at it, to me it appears that it is slow because you are looking at a LOT of data to review and then update a single row.  Mind you...

An alternate, but similar, approach would be to add a sequential integer column to the table rather than the row_number approach.  This should have better SELECT performance than row_number() at...

What I am seeing is it failed validation.  If I remember right, failed validation is thrown when metadata changed.  So you will need to edit the SSIS package to update...
